Sadly, Jack Benny's 'stomachache' they're joking about turned out to be cancer of the pancreas, he'd be dead 2.5 months after this aired. And George would replace Jack again in the movie version of The Sunshine Boys, gave him an Oscar and a whole new career at 81.

One thing I hate is that since George was still working in the 90s (And in HIS 90s), more younger people remember him but Jack Benny died in '74, shortly after this broadcast and many people today don't know who Jack Benny was. We should all be sharing Jack Benny videos and telling friends and family about him. His stuff is still incredibly funny today.

I really love this episode. Not just for George's performance. It's beautiful and yet bittersweet hearing him talking about Jack Benny the way he does. A best friend who was like a brother to him. He spoke so endearingly about someone who was most likely the most important person in his life at that point. Unaware of the grief that would soon come. This video reminds me to appreciate the friends and loved ones I have because you never know how much time you have left to share with them. God bless Jack and George.

George comes home one night to a large bouquet of flowers on the dining room table. “Gracie, where did you get these flowers?” Gracie answers: "Don't you remember, George? You said that if I went to visit Clara Bagley in the hospital I should be sure to take her flowers." I still chuckle at this one every once in a while.

If George had the same symptoms today, they’d wheel him into the cardio cath lab, stent his blocked arteries, put him on plavix and baby aspirin and he’d be home in a day and back to work the next. Still, George had many more great years ahead. Jack Benny, we’d sadly lose a little more than one month later. I really miss all these guys.
